SPEECH OF ACCEPTANCE.
Members of the Joint Conven-
| ton: Your action in electing me
to the u. S. Senate fills me with
gratitude to you and the people
you represent. The canvass is
ended. All the people of Nevada
are now my constituents. While
every act of kindness extended
/ to me during the campaign will
ever be remembered and recipro-
Gated whenever an opportunity is
afforded, / have no enemies to
punish among those who have
opposed me.
Every citizen of Nevada has a
right to call on me for any service
legitimately pertaining to the
office of U. S. Senator, and /
will faithfully perform my duty
without regard to party. / have
already served two terms in the
Senate from Nevada, and during
all that time / was aided and
encouraged by the cordial CO.
operation of my constituents.
That aid and encouragement en-
abled me to accomplish some
good for the State.
1t is my ambition to assist in
placing Nevada among the
wealthy and populous States of
the West, aud, if in furtherance
of that object all the people will
unite, much may be accom-
plished. Our population is now
small, but by honesty and econo-
my the financial condition of our
State is most satisfactory. Neva-
da has no outside Indebtedness.
1t is true that she owes a small
debt to the School Fund, nearly
all of which was incurred by the
Territory of Nevada in aid of the
Union cause during the Rebel
lion, and which was afterwards

THE SILVER QUESTION.
L have reflected much as TO
what can be done for the benefit
of our State and for the develop
ment of its resources. Silver
mining is one of our principal
industries. The scheme do de-
monetize silver not only Injuries
us, in common with all the peo-
pie of the civilized world, by
contracting the metallic currency,
which for centuries has been the
basis of all commercial transac-
tions, nearly one-half, and there
by increasing the obligation of
contracts, retarding enterprise
and depressing labor, but it in
jures us especially by destroying
the business of silver mining.
Free coinage of silver is the
true and only remedy. Silver
has been deprecated by exclud-
ing it from the Mint. Restore 1T
to its former place as money
metal and allow the producer, as
formerly, to exchange it at the
Mint for coin at the standard
ratio fixed by law, and it will be
restored to par.
Fortunately for Nevada she
has Senator in Congress who is
IA recognized leader in the con-
test for the restoration Of silver.
1t is source of qualification TO
me that my relations with him
are such that we can and will CO.
operate together as one man for
the interests of our State. | had
the honor to serve with Senator
Jones in the Senate for two years.
He was all that / could desire as
a colleague. This is also fortu-
nate for the State, for harmony
in the delegation is essential to
success. My relations with our
Representatives, Mr.. Wondbnrn,
are also most cordial. The entire
delegation will cooperate for the
benefit of our constituents.
IRRIGATION.
